ATTICA, Ohio — Californian Kalib Henry outdueled Cap Henry to score his first 410 sprint car win at Attica Raceway Park Friday night.
Henry, who started sixth in the 30-lap A-main, took the lead from the defending track champion on lap seven and held off several challenges from Cap Henry to score the win.
“Cap raced me hard, he raced me clean,” Kalib Henry said. “We struggled here quite a bit. Drew the six and didn’t know what to expect the way the track was. I knew when Cap struck his nose in there I had to turn it up and move around and see what I could do.”
The victory in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 A-main is the third of the year for Kalib Henry, adding to a pair of victories at Fremont Speedway.
For Cap Henry it was a good point night in his quest to earn another Attica track title and a second straight All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series crown. AFCS and Attica point leader Cale Thomas finished fourth behind D.J. Foos, while T.J. Michael rounded out the top five.
While the scorecard will show Kyle Moore led all 25 laps of the UMP Late Model feature, it was not nearly that easy. Mike Bores came on strong and challenged Moore lap after lap but Moore hit his marks and drove to his third straight feature win at Attica over Bores, Rusty Schlenk, Casey Noonan and Devin Shiels.
Since the opening two weeks of the season, Moore has not finished out of the top three to lead the track’s point standings.
“They say the first win is the hardest to get and it was. Last year I probably should have had one or two of them and got passed in the last corner. This is a dream,” said Moore.
Jamie Miller knew his engine was hurt in his 305 sprint car after his heat race. A call to his engine builder – who told him to put block sealer in it and pray – didn’t ease his mind any. However, the four time and defending Attica track champion was able to nurse his car home for his sixth win of the year at the track.
Of the 12 features at Attica in 2024, Miller has only finished out of the top five in one event, a 17th-place finish on the second night of the year.
Jimmy McGrath led the opening lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints feature before Miller took over. Despite several cautions Miller was able to drive to his 45th career win at Attica over Bryan Sebetto, Dustin Stroup, McGrath and Logan Riel.
